Mullein Hill students have a worldly experience

Thursday

LAKEVILLE --- Students at Mullein Hill Christian Academy were awed and amazed as they entered the school’s gymnasium where a 20 foot high, 22 foot wide balloon replica of the Earth was on display.

The gigantic Earth balloon was the main attraction at the EarthView in-school field trip attended by the entire student body grades Pre-K through 8th on Monday, Feb. 9.

The EarthView program, spearheaded by Bridgewater State College professor Dr. James Hayes-Bohanan, is an exciting way for students to view the world around them.

School officials said the students’ faces lit up with wonder and excitement as they entered the gymnasium and took in the enormity of the giant Earth balloon.

Dr. James Hayes-Bohanan first led the students on a journey around the Earth and then brought as many as 20 students at a time into the balloon where they were encouraged to ask questions and explore the continents and countries in a way that most people will never experience.

The EarthView program brings students in contact with the planet in a unique and magnificent way. Looking around and up from the center of the Earth is an amazing experience that these students will always remember.
